I guess I just think its a better idea to get a young guy who can possibly become a #1 than a guy who's already developed into a #2-#3. I guess in the case of Kulikov, he'd be a more desirable target than Gormley, because gormleys ceiling is more of a -#2-#3 guy and Kulikov is already that. But my initial idea Included a 1st coming our way as well which would help bolster our prospect pool.

I do NOT like the idea of trading couturier for a guy like Yandle. I'm a big believer of getting someone around the age of the young guys in our core so that they can grow together and motivate one another. This team is still a few years from competing IMO and getting a guy who doesn't fit into the core age would be a bad move.
